Ironing is one activity I dislike very much. I'd rather wash my clothes and send them to the laundry for ironing.

My dad is a little like you, he has a pattern by which he irons, especially his trousers. Specific lines and this and that. Lol. It's difficult for ne tó try to help him. I never get it. But when he does it o his own, it takes a long time but the finished work is perfect.
